The high flux source for the Pulsed High Density Experiment (PHDX) has been constructed, and field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas are being produced. To diagnose FRC plasma temperatures three kinds of diagnostic systems have been set up on PHDX; λ = 632.8 nm He-Ne laser interferometer system at the midplane for total temperature Ttotal, 16 channel spectrometer for ion temperature Ti and soft x-ray (SXR) measurement system for electron temperature Te viewed along z-axis, respectively. The SXR measurement system consists of five sets of collimators and AXUV100 photodiodes with directly deposited filters which have different bandpass regions. As a result of preliminary temperature diagnostics, the following plasma parameters are estimated during a relatively quiescent phase of FRCs; Ttotal ∼ 50 eV, Ti ∼ 50 eV and Te ∼ 25 eV. This result does not agree with the equilibrium relation of Ttotal ≈ Ti + Te, and it must be caused by plasma condition and our assumptions in the spectral analysis.
